Assessment Summary
Overall Vehicle Reliability Summary: The 2022 RAV4 Edge Hybrid AWD benefits from Toyota's mature hybrid platform, including the well-proven A25A-FXS engine family and a long-running hybrid e-CVT, which contributes to durable real-world reliability in Australian ownership. The drivetrain and hybrid integration are a notable strength, with efficient operation and robust system compatibility. Potential reliability considerations include CVT-related NVH characteristics and occasional abnormal noises that can be related to maintenance or fluid quality. Infotainment and connectivity issues have been reported by some owners, which can affect daily usability even when the core drivetrain remains reliable. There is a history of recalls affecting hybrid components in Australia; owners should verify VIN-specific recall status with official sources to assess any impact on long-term reliability.
